The Summer Splash Massacre

Haha! Calling it a "Massacre" is a total exaggeration but it was almost a massacre, just without any lives being taken away. Refer to the previous post about the crazy crowd and lousy crowd control in Sunway Lagoon.

Okay! Now! Due to the fact that the crowd as getting kinda frustrated, to me and my friends own safety and time, we decided that its not worth it, so we escaped from that place. Now the interesting part is how we did it.

This is how the queue looks like from the park:

In conclusion, 3 dudes Andrew Dwipa Kencana, Sami Parvez and Loh Ji Yuan climbed over the railing at the side of the cliff like monkeys and got our way back. It was one hell of an experience! Better than queuing and going in!

The outing for Summer Splash!

Pics below were taken by K800i as I forgot to insert my battery into my Alpha-100 before leaving the house.

The crazy crowd in Summer Splash Sunway Lagoon

First, me and my friends went to the Sunway Lagoon main entrance. Then this Sunway Lagoon employee asked whether we're here for Summer Splash and we said yes. He directed us to this side to the connection escalator. We queued and queued. The securities wasn't allowing people to move in from this side. Due to my ignorance and the "INFORMATIVE" employee's directions, we got stuck in the crazy crowd. The crowd you see in the picture is just 2% of the crowd. Do the multiplication with your imagination will you?

People were shouting and crying and pushing and fighting! It was a MESS! Me and my group of friends decided to climb to the cliff at the side and leave the place. Giving 13,000 tickets and each ticket gives admission for 2 person meaning they should expect a 26k crowd. The planning is totally absurd.

Unagi Japanese Food

After we left, we adjourn to a Japanese restaurant. I didn't order the set above. I ordered a Sukiyaki which I enjoyed it a lot.

Later on, we were hanging around Sunway Pyramid. We checked out this Bed shop called Getha. They have fantastic Latex beds.

Kek Lok Si #5 - Guan Yin and the 12 Zodiacs

After going up to the pagoda, the next destination in Kek Lok Si would be the Bronze Guan Yin of Kek Lok Si Temple; Air Itam, Penang island, Malaysia. 30 m (98.5 ft). Completed in 1999.

Instead of paying for 3 person to take the stupid cable that looks like an inclined lift, I decided to walk down from the pagoda to take my car parked below and drove up to the Bronze Goddess of Mercy Statue.

Kek Lok Si Goddess of Mercy Kuan Yin Statue Canopy Construction

After the generous donations by faithful devotees, the construction of the canopy is already in progress, hence we were unable to go near to the statue.

They have the 12 animal zodiacs there as well!

Should this be my personal ad? Now who wants some tongue? LOL

I spotted my snakey being too friendly with another guy...

I confronted her and this was the response I got:

Woman are often unpredictable and they can be as vicious like snakes... LOL

At last, the older Kuan Yin Statue of Kek Lok Si. I thought that it would be a nice material for me to do some vector art with this picture. This will be my next flash vector project!

Anyway, that pretty much sums up my trip to Kek Lok Si temple!
